“Love isn't a decision. It arrives unannounced, breeds madness, and leaves a sea of ruin in its wake. Hate him or love him. Either way, he's in certain hell.”
― Pam Godwin, Sea of Ruin

“My mother said the first boy—or man—is a crush.
You think you love them, but what you really love is how they make you feel. It’s not love. It’s lust. Lust for attention. Lust for danger. Lust to feel special. (...) The second is to learn about yourself. Your first crush has been crushed. You’re sad, but most of all, you’re angry. Angry enough to not let it happen again. (...) Love. When the lessons of your weakness with number one and your selfishness with number two sink in, and you find a medium. When you know who you are and you’re ready to welcome everything he is, and you’re not afraid anymore.”

“Love doesn’t betray.” That familiar pain announced itself in the cracks of my voice. “Why did you do it?” “Believe me…” He dropped his head back on his shoulders and breathed out through his nose. “It wasn’t on purpose.” “Oh? It was an accident, then? How does that work? Did you fall out of my bed and accidentally land in someone else’s vagina?”

“Because life is only happy when it’s shared.”
